Terms of Service

1) Backup and Loss

Your use of this service is at your sole risk. Our backup service is provided to you as a courtesy. HostSlick Internet Services is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on HostSlick servers. Backups will not be provided for accounts that have been suspended or terminated for any reason unless otherwise agreed to in writing by HostSlick Internet Services.

2) Uptime Guarantee

Approval of any credit is at the discretion of HostSlick dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact support@HostSlick.de with proper justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. The 99% up time guarantee only applies to shared/reseller solutions. Dedicated and VPS servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down, which is not related to our uptime guarantee.

3) Resource Usage Limits

VPS accounts may not:

a) exceed a 15 minute load average greater than two (2) times the amount of CPU cores given.b) use I/O intensive applications which adversely affect normal server operations.Shared/Reseller accounts may not:

a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds.b) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD. c) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.d) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.

4) Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. "Safe lists", purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice.Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.HostSlick reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other component that does not comply with its established policies, or to make any such modifications in an emergency at its sole discretion.HostSlick reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of HostSlick.

5) Bandwidth Usage

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

6) Money back Guarantee

On VPS no full refund will be honored -- the 24 hour money back guarantee does not apply. We reserve the right to refund a prorated amount or no refund at all. Each of HostSlick's shared and reseller servers carry a 24 hour money back guarantee on them. Remember, this is only for monthly shared or reseller packages and does not apply to dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases. This is down to us if we agree with your reasoning and if we can fix the issue then a refund will not be issued. HostSlick will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance with HostSlick. For a new order to be setup or a new package to be activated, you must have a balance of $0.00, unless otherwise stated by HostSlick in writing.

7) Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. HostSlick does not provide support to our Reseller's Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients'. HostSlick will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service. A $15 administrative charge may be applied to unsuspend a Reseller account if there is abuse under account.
